Anchorman is a riot! I love the entire cast of this movie. Everyone in it is so funny on their own, so to put them all in one movie was all most too much for me. (See: adult diapers)
I don't care for SNL, but Will Ferrell is a comedic genius. Steve Carell is funny in a whole new way unlike his The Office character. I know I'd seen David Koechner (Sports Reporter, Champ Kind) somewhere, but I couldn't place him. It wasn't until looking up the link for Anchorman that I noticed he'd been in The Office and The 40 Year Old Virgin. So he's been working with the same basic crew for a while now. As for Paul Rudd... call me. ;-)
And how can I forget Christina Applegate... Or shoud I call her Tits McGee. Classy.
This movie was defintely as good as expectations. I need to buy this movie because if I'm ever feeling blue, this would be the kind of movie to perk me up right away. The overall campiness of it, is so good. Having been born in the 70s, but really only barely remembering what TV newscasters were actually like, this bring it all screaming back to me in vivid technicolor.
If for some reason you've managed to avoid this movie. I'd question why and then instruct you to see it immediately!

What better way to spend the afternoon than by watching a series of mindless movies that'll make you pee a little bit. Grab your favorite bag of chips, a cold beverage, and strap on some adult diapers. It's movie time!!
It started out with Wedding Crashers. I would say that it's one of those movies that you can pretty much guess where it is going. This is a no-brainer. That's fine. It's funny. It has some really funny scenes. I got the feeling that it was trying to be a little bit like Meet The Parents in some places, but I'm ok with that.
Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken are an odd enough combination to make it worth any similarities to other movies. And then there is the Rappin' Granny from The Wedding Singer.
Watching this movie I wondered if Ben Stiller was a little distraught that Vince Vaughn has replaced him as Owen Wilson's life partner. Ponderous...
There isn't really much to say about the casting, other than I kept look at Rachel McAdams and wonder how Kate Beckingsale lost so much weight. I'm not saying they are twins. I'm just dense enough that for most of the movie I was thinking it was KB. Watching Van Helsing right before these movies didn't help.
I probably wouldn't buy it for my DVD collection, but I'm glad I watched it.
I actually give this movie three and a half stars. I'm just too lazy to make a new graphic for 3 1/2.
